    It's not "our" fault that businesses have made bad decisions, it's just that those businesses are making it "our" resposibility to "pay" for their bad decisions.

    Baby born in nearby town on the road to the birthing center. 20% of women in VT must travel 45+ minutes to a birthing center. Dad delivered, EMT arrived 15 min later. All well fortunately

    Interesting just saw that same poster at the doctor today which was never there before. If y'all can stock up now the list of meds that are now not available keeps growing. Wife works at a medical facility and works with pharmacy and she talks about what they are seeing. Thank you for sharing and have a blessed day.

    Construction is a economy barometer, it never fails. I'm working on some metal door shields to protect some cisterns for hurricane season, metal is ridiculously expensive, it's 30 to 50% higher, this has slowed my progress, I have a monthly preparedness budget I got to stick to.

    Ha! My Dr Retired. Still young enough to NOT Retire, but hey! Who am I to judge? 😅 I have a sneaky feeling she finds the heat and guilt behind the Jab Program, a little too heavy? Perhaps!
    So her daughter was Training with her for 4 years, and she was "to take over"....? She sent a Letter and a Conditions Sheet, of the like I have never seen!!
    It included things like? "IF you Try to Approach me OR Greet me out of the Office? You will be Terminated. No second chances!
    I was just blown away! Her mother did not have a problem with saying Hello, when I bumped into her at the Store! Only happened a couple of times, over the years. She was always delighted to chat my youngest one up, no matter where we ran into each other!
    So I took this as her stating, we are ALL Stalkers! Offend much???
    I used the common phrase, "Whatever!"....
    They have a God-Like Attitude. So who has the Paranoid Issues? Lol
    She has already Bailed!
    Some other Male is taking it over, now. He is a Training Practice, so his letter Informs? I will NOT Fill Out ANY Forms, for the first year. Not even for Disability... Problem! Even I have one Form to Do. I decided to just let thst Form go. Means less income. But it also means I have Zero Need TO have a Doctor! Works for me!

    Your video is timely, just this week our hospital had to go into lockdown because some punk (from another town) went into the emergency room with a g*n. The good news is they located him at his home about 20 miles away, but still the medical staff had to scramble to keep people safe.

    Manufacturing is getting killed right now here in West Michigan. The local media doesn't cover it unless it's a large company, but lay offs are going on everywhere. The company I work for is down about 30% from where we should be for this time of year, orders just aren't coming in. If something doesn't change I might just relocate to a more business friendly state, tired of the economic rollercoaster.

    It is so disheartening to see these pharmacies closing. I'm very fortunate at 63 and do not have any health issues where I need prescription medication. I love shopping at Walgreens in Alma Michigan but they were one of the locations that was closed. So far I haven't heard anything about writing closing in Alma.

    Good morning M. R.
    The smaller pharmacies can't get the supplies.
    Yes all the big pharmacies are closing.
    Those meds get shorted the lack will cause withdrawals and that will include violence because that's the nature of those addictions created by the meds themselves.
    Yes other required meds are vanishing.
    People can't afford to do much. As food and everything else goes up there's less available for everything else.
    Phone service is getting worse. Definitely big business double talk. "Your fault" is the gut reaction of failure to do the job right leading to failure of accepting responsibility...aka entitlement trumps reality. Ugh

    After three years avoiding doctors, I went to see one. He put me on blood pressure and cholesterol meds and sent the Rx to Express Scripts. I live in MS and Express 'lost' the package in GA. Then they blame me for not updating the address I have had nearly 30 years. Many have had problems with this mail order pharmacy. Do they even speak English? They couldn't understand when I told them I cannot hear over the phone.

    Of course they see the writing on the wall, people need to stock pile meds when ever they can. Even if it's just a pill here or there, if you have refills on whatever meds you can. Especially if your doctor give you a refill on antibiotics, get it filled so you will have on the ready. Stay safe and get prepared

    I live in Lewiston Michigan. Our town is made up of 60% seniors. We are about to lose our rite aid. The nearest pharmacy would be in Gaylord Michigan which is 45 minutes away. I feel really bad for our community. They put in a dumbass family Dollar Dollar tree but are going to take away life-saving medications. It doesn't make any sense. 😡

    Yep, I've seen the signs. Includes commentary about "different" types of people, who may be employees in our woke world. They are also well aware that the quality of care has decreased while costs have increased. Lots of reasons that may set people off. Want to threaten people to go along and get along, or not receive services.

    MR, I'm sorry things are so bad in your area! I haven't seen any signs like that in pharmacies and medical facilities here in PA, and when I bought a new phone (through my service provider, Verizon) I didn't have to pay anything upfront for it - a monthly installment payment was just added to my phone bill.

    • @ModernRefugee
      @ModernRefugee  18 днів тому

      Verizon dropped our entire area. A private company owns the towers in our area. After accepting many contracts from people and businesses, they didn’t want to pay the royalties and methodically dropped every customer in our area. Then demanded payment for the phones that were owed on. There was a huge backlash and Verizon exited the market by us. Now we have substandard cell coverage. Keep checking your local medical facilities. I believe you will see those posters sooner or later. Take care.

    I don't mean to comment twice but I have to add in that I really am suspicious about them skyrocketing gas prices after all these pharmacies close. That way you have to pay an arm and a leg just to go and pick up your medications from a pharmacy that's a half an hour to an hour away 😢
